About Us

Metallic Protectives Limited was established in the early 1950's by the Lenton family as a dedicated hard chrome electroplater offering a subcontract service to the engineering industry, particularly the printing and textile sector.

Initially located in Coventry, Metallic Protectives moved to a purpose built factory in Warwick and continued to grow. The subcontract service was extended to include stove enamelling. Metallic Protectives was one of the first companies to offer a sub contract powder coating service for the architectural industry.

Metallic Protectives was acquired by the PMD Group in 1984. One result of this acquisition was the separation of the hard chrome electroplating and organic finishing activities into separate companies. Metallic Protectives Plating Limited became the name for the subcontract hard chrome plating, grinding and vaquablasting operation. The subcontract powder coating and wet spray painting activity remained in Metallic Protectives Limited.

Metallic Protectives Plating consistently keeps pace with the latest technology in chemical engineering development enabling us to be in the forefront in hard chromium engineering for all sectors of manufacturing industry.

2002 saw Metallic Protectives Plating invest in equipment and technology to electropolish stainless steel for medical, automotive, food and safety engineering industries.

Metallic Protectives Plating moved to Broad Lane in Coventry during 2005 to a unit adjacent to the Plating division of PMD(UK)Ltd.
